“It helps with taking notes and with reading quickly. Helps keep me focused, even when I am really tired. I can get a sense of what I need to understand quickly.”

“I was born in Taiwan, and grew up in Ecuador. When I came to study in the United States I found a job tutoring Spanish. Following that I began tutoring international students in the Universal Learning Lab. I enjoy this lot.

And that, my friends, is what I call melody to my heart” “FEEL GOOD"Bryan Chen, Laney Student
